> Linux makes it easy for you to be a developer, while other platforms fight you every step of the way I see this sentiment a lot but the developer experience on Windows is good to great in my experience. Much better than MacOS or linux if you are using Visual Studio and .NET, pretty equal if you are using another stack. What it isn't is posix/unix. A lot of the bad developer experience people have on windows is from trying to (pre-WSL, at least) shoe horn unix tools and practices instead of doing things the windows way.

I’m assuming it is easier to write code on the platform you want to deploy it to. So, server-first stuff: web dev, scientific computing, AI, all that sort of stuff is Linux-first. Writing Windows software, I’m sure, is easier on Windows. Happily Valve fixed the whole gaming issue, outside of niche DRM stuff that I don’t care about.
